Isn't It Quiet And Cold?

  • Isn't it quiet and cold walking all alone, alone?
    Happened I missed the bus and found I had to walk, alone.
    What was that?
    Only me.

    Hear the echo of my feet
    Footsteps
    Are they mine?
    Hear the echo of the street.

    Wished I lived near at hand although I live alone, alone
    At least I'll find company, so why should I moan, alone.

    Movement
    By my feet
    Paper wind across the street
    Curtains closed
    Sleepy heads

    Wrapped together in their beds
    I used to walk with someone else
    I didn't seem to notice sights and sounds of the lonely street
    I used to talk with someone else

    Now the only answers are the calls of the night
    Look at that alley cat, it's winding home to rest, alone
    Half-past four and daylight shows itself once more

    Walking all alone
    Walking all alone Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
